Synopsis:
Two years after her husband's death, Lisey Landon decides it's time to go through his office to clear out his papers. Scott Landon was a bestselling novelist and Lisey has been besieged by people wanting to buy any of his unpublished work but she is determined not to let that happen. As she begins the process of cleaning, she is contacted by an unsavory character who claims that if she does not turn over the papers, he will make her suffer the consequences. Finding strength she did not know she had and never used during their marriage, Lisey refuses, and true to his word, "Zack McCool" begins to stalk her. Lisey begins to remember strange events from her marriage that she had suppressed and finds clues that may help save her life.
I absolutely loved this book, could not put it down! As usual with King's book, I felt like I was myself in another weird world as I read it, staying up late at night.

I read all your book in french (Qubec) and this one (Lisey's story) is translate by Nadine Grassie. It is illegible (unreadable) for a North American, it is the first time that I wont finish one of your book. I am really disappointed

Of all the Stephen King novels I've read, I personally loved this one. The grief that Lisey felt for her dead husband touched me deeply...having been through so much grief recently, it was a comfort for me to read.

Of all Stephen King books I have read, this is the only one i didn't like. It's boring and unnecessarily long. By the time I finished it, I was very disappointed. It's supposed to be a love story (but it's not really), and it's not a horror story either, it's just plain boring.

I loved this book more than most other I've read because it scared me the worst! From the beginning of the book I was creeped out even pronouncing Lisey like Lizzy then came the moment when someone called out to her "Lisa!" from that point I swear I saw long shadows in the corners of my bedroom. It was really hard to read when my husband wasn't home. Thank you SK!
